To be fair, he's used the tactics that allardyce and Bolton perfect years ago. You can't blame small teams for going away to the big boys and using tactics like that.
The irony that Mourinho was the one who first coined the parking the bus phrase when talking about allardyce.
Liverpool tried to play the Liverpool way but the game was getting strangled. You should know who to blame and blanket condemn everyone.
Well boring tactics aside Liverpool were just poor today, not on it at all so sloppy especially first half.
Ref was terrible and gave everything to Liverpool
we improved when lallana came on, who'd have thought he'd be so important to our team.

Ref was fine. He was anonymous. Which the referee should be.

if he gave everything to us you'd have had 7 men in the first 30 minutes. how many fouls before he got the cards out? about 15?
We got what we came for. Move on to next one.
Not hugely surprised by the result. I predicted it might be a poor game few weeks back.

Mourinho knows United can't really afford to lose so will set up defensively and look to hurt Liverpool with set plays and a more physical approach. It could work as well.
I'll go for a draw, either goalless or 1-1.

I think there will be goals but it wouldn't surprise me if the game ends up being an anti-climax. I just hope we score early so it opens the game up. United will be cagey and cautious since Mourinho has been humbled by Klopp on more then one occasion in the past.
Mourinho is as Mourinho does. Gets points when he shouldn't, but plays absolute small minded anti-football to the extent of virtually robbing both the united and liverpool fans of anything worth watching. No surprise that Ferguson didnt want him.

I get why Mourinho does what he does in these games, I just personally don't like it. I'm not sure having a six line defence that still gets opened up twice is a tactical masterclass either, it's just a defensive performance that was on a par with Liverpools attacking performance - slightly under par.
Really like Coutinho though, lovely player.

I don't think anyone is saying it was a masterclass, but Klopp didn't have any answer to the tactic.

Why is that dear? Because we didn't set up to suit your bunch of over-rated pansies?
We're under no illusions as utd fans. We have serious work to do. But I think it's pretty safe to assume your long wait will go on. You're average too.

He did though, which was bringing off Sturbridge and moving Coutinho, they didn't take their chance though as Liverpool were under par too. They still made it through the block a couple of times.
